Laser Treatment To Treat Toenail Fungus

Onychomycosis, or toenail fungus, is one of the most common types of fungal infections to affect Americans. In fact, 25 million Americans suffer from toenail fungus. Though onychomycosis is not particularly painful, it can certainly be embarrassing and cause a fair amount of discomfort to those dealing with the infection. The most unfortunate thing about toenail fungus is that it has a tendency to surface again and again. Moreover, it rarely responds to over-the-counter medications. Hence, people infected with toenail fungus are often frustrated and resort to newer ways of treating this infection. One such emerging treatment option is laser treatment for toenail fungus. Laser technology kills the pathogens that cause toenail fungus.

We use Shockwave Therapy as a non-invasive treatment for chronic Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis (also known as heel pain). You can expect the treatment to last fewer than 10 minutes and not require any anesthesia. Through experience and research, we have determined that 80% of the time, Shockwave Therapy provides an effective solution to treat heel pain that allows most patients to easily work around their normal schedule and daily activities.

Digital X-Rays For Podiatry Care

Digital radiology has revolutionized podiatry care over the past decade. Digital x-rays allow our Suffolk, VA, podiatrists and our Hampton, VA, podiatrists at 1Foot 2Foot to take and magnify an image of your foot with crystal clear details. This enables our podiatrists to tell stress fractures apart from other abnormalities. It ensures a proper diagnosis of painful foot and ankle conditions with the ability to view the digital x-rays immediately in our podiatry office. We also use digital x-rays to monitor your foot’s structure on an ongoing basis in order to evaluate and treat any chronic foot conditions.

Diagnostic Ultrasound For Podiatry Care

Many people know about Diagnostic Ultrasound because OB/GYN physicians use it with expectant mothers on a daily basis. We use it to properly diagnose foot conditions and identify exactly where the problem is – eliminating trial-and-error treatment and continued pain for the patient.

With our Diagnostic Ultrasound machine, we can locate and begin to effectively treat soft tissue conditions like Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, tumors, foreign bodies, torn tendons, and stress fractures. It also helps us guide injections of cortisone to the precise place that is in pain due to inflammation.

MLS Laser Therapy To Therapy Reduce Inflammation and Swelling

Laser therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment that uses the energy in two specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions. The energy from this light stimulates activity in damaged cells and speeds the process in which they can recover.

MLS Laser Therapy treatments have been clinically shown to significantly reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling while it improves local blood circulation and helps to repair injury and increase mobility. To learn more about MLS Laser Therapy, click here.

“I've been both a patient of 1Foot 2Foot with Dr. Dairman and a client at Stems Spa. I can honestly say - WOW! I never thought I'd be proud to show my feet until now. Dr. D. fixed by heel pain and a pretty bad bunion. I can barely see the scar! The pedicures are simply amazing - AND CLEAN! Proud to have them in Suffolk! Thanks guys.”

- Stephie

“Dr. Dairman and his staff are wonderful. I went from dreading to even stand-up to out walking for exercise again. So happy with the improvement in my foot! Thank you 1Foot 2Foot.”

- Cindy R.

“I purchased many Dr. Scholl's supports, went to an orthopedic who sent me to therapy. Six months later I was no better. A friend told me about 1Foot 2Foot and Dr. Dairman. Within 2 weeks I was back to my activities with little pain. Within 4 weeks, I'm pain-free. How he did it, I don't know, but I now send all my friends and family to 1Foot 2Foot.”

- Barbara

“Thanks to 1Foot 2Foot, six months after my husband had major foot surgery, he is up to running three miles with no foot or ankle pain!!”

- Lee M.

“I was greeted by a friendly receptionist, taken back promptly by a friendly assistant, and seen by a podiatrist who was comfortable, confident, and yes, friendly. He explained my problem (neuroma), offered several treatment options and said with a smile "I can fix that." He gave me a steroid injection and I left his office without pain. I haven't had pain since.”

- tgreenleaf

“Almost 4 months after surgery and all is still well. On Monday of this week I had 4 patients of my own to see in our outpatient surgery department. I went up and down the flight of stairs to surgery a total of 9 times that day. Was I tired at the end of the day? You bet! Did my foot and heel give me any problems? None at all!!!! Thanks again for pain free walking.”
